Who is the Flamingo on The Masked Dancer?

The vibrant pink costume was worn by the singer-songrwiter Louise Redknapp.

She was the second celebrity to be unmasked on Sunday, 30 May 2021, right after Jordan Banjo aka Viper was kicked out of the competition.

The star kept her participation a secret from her son Beau and shared his reaction by posting a video on her Instagram account.

Following the unveiling, Louise shared her joy at being a part of The Masked Dancer cast on Lorraine, admitting it had allowed her to "express" herself after lockdown.

"I felt like I hadn't expressed anything for so many months - it was lovely", she said to stand-in presenter Cat Deeley.

What were the fan theories?

Fans had to wait before being given any clues about Flamingo's identity.

A cryptic video was soon posted to the official @themaskedsingerUK Instagram page.

The now-deleted video in question saw the show's host Joel Dommett talk about clues being "everywhere" as a blonde haired woman rushes out of shot behind him.
